Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for history and war-film fans and anyone looking to switch off and smile. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Sits nicely alongside The School of Rock or A Hard Day's Night.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Light on its feet, at 1 hr 4 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1947: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

A Marine Sergeant wounded in overseas combat requires an operation, and the Navy psychiatrist recommends that ‘Sarge’ be given a few weeks’ rest before hospitalization. Through the Dean of San Juan Junior College, Sarge enters on a temporary basis. Meanwhile, the Teen-Agers are rehearsing a show and Freddie's worried as they have no band.
